The European Union (EU) has agreed to beef up its border force Frontex in order to speed up deportations of failed asylum seekers.

The EU interior ministers also called for more effective re-admission deals with countries of origin outside the EU, so that more migrants go home.

According to BBC News, the conclusions from their talks said EU states should detain migrants who may abscond before they are deported.

EU states are grappling with a huge influx of asylum seekers.

Most refugees qualify for asylum under international law. But last year more than half a million non-EU migrants were found to be “illegally present” in the 28-nation bloc.
